Latrice, I can't believe this is my last grading period. It really went by pretty fast.

#1mom, please keep us updated on what the cardiologist says. I hope everything's alright with Lucas.

Queen, so do you have the car now, or did your soon to be ex-bff take it? That would really suck if she did. I know how much you need it.

Andrea, I have to take the online class if I want to be done by May. I don't like having to take something online. I don't really do well without a "live" teacher. But, it's something I have to do. Good luck with the Lexapro. Most people I know who take that have pretty good success stories.

Nothing exciting. Tonight starts a new class at the school-Anatomy and Physiology. I hope the teacher doesn't try to race through the book like the Biology teacher did. You all have a good day.

Hey ladies- its been a few days. I really skimmed. I'm very busy today.

Mum- glad that mini had a good report...I also find the term "unremarkable" strange for reports, with regards to you "impression comment".

Thanks Queen for the response. That sounds like a great camera. The higher the megapixels...the better the resolution.

I've had a busy last few days but I need to vent ladies. I went out with my ex husband (we're good friends, if you're new to the thread). It was an urban cool pub that everyone frequents and on this particular day an nba game was playing. The guys next to me said that the player was wearing a mask because he was HIV. I looked at them and said, "a mask to do what". And they said cover him if he had a blood spill. Before I could think, he said, besides, ..."his sweat is killing us". I looked at my ex and said wtf?

It takes a lot to push me and this pushed me.......I want to scream "I am HIV"

Queen- Breathe....LOL....I know the situation with the car is going to be resolved, And I met my husband on myspace.....

Betty-Congrats!!

#1-Blessings to you!!

well everything is everything here!! I got to see if I can get Ryan White assitance . I got married and my insurance tripped hard!! I hate going to CATF!! but it is the only way to get insurance right now.

You ever been so tired that you forget how to spell? I seriously just spell checked "morning" to make sure I had it right. Been crazy here at work. Spent all night last night installing new fire/tornado alarms campus wide. Got home around 5:30 am, ate and took meds, got the kids up and out the door for school, and spent most of the morning yelling at the dogs to stop fighting. Gave up on sleep cuz I had class to get to. Then spent all tonight here at work running around making sure all the new alarms work campus wide. Caffeine has been my best friend today! Wore out!

Camille, there are certainly plenty of idiots out there. It's almost like they have 2 brain cells. The first cell is having a seizure and the second one is mugging the first.

#1 mom, how's your son doing?

BT and Viv, I've done a few online classes myself and they can be a pain in the ass, depending on the system that your school uses. My advise is stay in touch with the instructors. Couple of mine even arranged to meet in person at school to go over material.

Queen, I have yet to try Warcraft, I want to though. It looks great. I can't afford a PS3 either, so I have the old xbox. I've been busy with Elder Scrolls and Fable for a while now and sometimes mix it up with the Socom series when I feel like blowing stuff up. Every now and then I have to give one of the kids a beat down with Madden NFL, just to remind them who's boss.

Well, I just got called on the radio so I gotta get. Have a great day all.

TreDai, I peaked at your wedding pictures thread. Those are really nice pictures. I wish you all the happiness in the world. And good luck getting Ryan White assistance. I don't know what state you live in, but I don't see why you wouldn't get some help.

Camms, wow. Isn't it amazing that today, with all the information out about HIV/AIDS, how ignorant some people still are? And more than ignorant, foolish, because they choose not to get educated. Those kind of people are the ones who really piss me off. I would want to set the record straight. I'm very open to people about having HIV. And most people, especially once they get to know me (not that I'm all that or anything), are pretty accepting.

Fruitloop, what kind of work do you do? It sounds awfully busy, plus your busy schedule at home. Wow, no wonder you overindulge in caffeine. I do hope you get a chance to rest and get some sleep.

The Anatomy class last night went pretty well. Tonight I start an independent study called "Topics in Psychology." I guess we're going to study different personality disorders. I really like the instructor, so that should go well. The instructor last night was pretty entertaining. I have most of the work done for my online class for this week; I just have to take a quiz. Quizzes and exams always make me extremely nervous.

It's supposed to be up to 57F degrees today. I'm probably going to go to the Y in an hour to exercise. Other than that and class, I do need to go to the store for a few things. You ladies all have a good day.

Anyone want to start the new thread?

Well, someone definitely needs to start a new thread. As for the car, I am waiting for the guy to show up to put the gasket on. I can't creep if you can hear me from a block away... And no, Betty, my ex-bff did not get the car. I wouldn't give it to her anyway, everything is in my name. And I just got the insurance back on it on the 3rd. She can have it back when she pays me for what I just had fixed and for the labor. It's day 2 of being on meds, I am still feeling a little queasy in the morning when I get up. But I am sure that will go away in a few weeks. I still don't have a pcp yet and no more refills on my Lantus.

Tre--Wow, you met your hubby on MySpace, that's cool. I am a major flirt over there. Did meet someone off of there but just recently ended it with him. But I did just hear from someone I use to date back in the day when I lived in Harrisburg. It has been like 8 years since we talked and I see on his profile that he is single, so no telling what could happen....

Camms---Sorry about the incident. Something like that has never happened to me though I have been called an aids infested bitch by my one sister..And she works in the medical field, even more ignorant coming from her..go figure...

That's about it for me, gonna try to enjoy this nice weather we're about to have....
